Split Seconds

from Growing Up is Getting Old by Midstress

lyrics

Do you remember the rain falling on the porch?
Remember we were soaked
We walked down to the store

They wouldn’t let us in
Cause we were covered in mud
I laughed at you when you punched the window
You dripped some blood

Our neighbors are old now
I used to have to look for shade
When the trees were falling from the ground
Can you believe how much this place has changed?

A storm last night knocked down my mom’s fence
It’s been there twenty years
Since I left her car with dents
I put them in with a baseball bat
She threw me out, all I did was laugh

You know these moments come and go
Only here for split seconds
You know I used to call this home
Under the door I left you a message

Its a recollection, its perception
Still counting down the days
I fell down the stairs
I got up, you punched me in the face
That door was red then
The new neighbors, they painted it brown
I liked it more then
I liked the way you kicked it down

I wanna tell you guys what you all meant to me
I wanna open the door and walk right in
I wanna tell them how it seems like it was all a dream
That door is red again and the kids are frightened
